I love doing layouts that document one month at a time because I don't have to follow a certain theme. I don't even worry about whether all my photos and cards match perfectly because I'm more interested in telling the stories of our lives for that time frame. It's a very fun way to do memory-keeping! We worked and played really hard in September! I’m so happy to capture our memories for the month.
